Abzu vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Abzu
Abzu is unlike any game you may have played before. As opposed to many games that focus just a tad bit too much on fighting and killing one another, Abzu is a beautiful exploration and interactive-styled adventure-like game that allows you to simply explore the wonderous and vibrant underwater world. Play as the Diver and immerse yourself in a world filled with abundant sea life and mystery while doing impressive underwater acrobatics or even simply swimming around with the fishes... fishes or any underwater wildlife that actually can react to your presence rather than just ignoring you.The feeling of relaxing quietness that Abzu can evoke is so uncanny. Despite the graphics, which doesn't look at all like the real-life version (this is not a criticism by the way, we're just pointing out a fact), the game is just so well-designed that you actually feel like you're diving underwater while playing the game. We'd highly recommend this game if you're looking for a game to play to destress or just to experience something completely new.
Virtual Villagers: Origins
Virtual Villagers: Origins is the village simulation game that is developed to answer the question of "what if The Sims is set in tribal times" and it did so perfectly. In this game, you'll need to help the fellow members of your tribe to survive in a mysterious new island by getting them to take up important roles, like farmers, builders and scientists. Grow your tribe and send them to explore the island they have now made their home on. There are also plenty of fun and challenging, random events that will spice up the day-to-day routine, allowing you to make use of your excellent problem-solving skills.In many ways, Virtual Villagers: Origins is very similar to other life simulation games like Virtual Families or, as mentioned, The Sims. For fans of such games, you'll find Virtual Villagers: Origins a suitable alternative.
